8 Note: The unit detects copy protection on the connected source, for example MacroVision protection on DVD discs. When a connected source is copy-protected, the unit will prevent recording and shows a warning message when the record button is pressed. Note: Do not use the switch on the back of the CM3G/P/PP to turn off the device, since it will not be able to turn on itself when a recording needs to be started. The device always needs to be in stand-by mode when a recording is scheduled. Note: The Media Giant records in HQ (High Quality) by default. You can change the recording quality in the Setup menu.
